Administrators spend a great deal of time doing preventative maintenance. Keeping the servers running doesn't mean putting out fires as they come, it means planning for hypothetical scenarios with the resources available. This type of work doesn't immediately present a benefit, and when the time comes to cut some chaff, perception is key. Management droids who've never experienced the pain of an outage might not have the same respect for having the hardware on hand as you and me, and the blame cannon is somehow never pointed at the penny-pincher who thought doing without a support contract was an acceptable risk.
